The Rorists' Review 



Jamcabx 21, 1916. 



EVANSVILLB, IND. 



The Market. 



Business has been active. There was 

 an unusually large number of funerals 

 last week, twenty-eight in all, and of 

 course considerable work was done. 

 Flowers are more plentiful than they 

 have been at this season for a long 

 time. The weather has been favorable 

 for their production, as it is mild, with 

 a good deal of sunshine. Roses, car- 

 nations, sweet peas. Paper Whites, Ro- 

 mans, etc., are good and the prices are 

 lower than they have been for the last 

 seven or eight years, at least. 



Various Notes. 



C. L. Niednagel intends to grow only 

 grafted stock this season, and so he is 

 busy grafting. He has been cutting a 

 lot of flowers from the. own-root stock, 

 but has concluded that grafted stock 

 will do still better. 



J. C. Elspermann has been on the 

 sick list. Business is good and potted 

 plants are selling especially well. 



Karl Zeidler is getting a good share 

 of the funeral orders. He has to buy 

 a good many roses and carnations. 



W. D. Macer is getting his share of 

 trade, it seems, as he is pretty busy. 



E. L. Fenton is attending the poultry 

 show this week, at Evans hall. 



Julius Niednagel & Sons have been 

 busy right along. Their carnation crop 

 is floe and the rose production is im- 

 proving. They are having excellent 

 results with carnation cuttings in the 

 sand. E. L. F. 



OREELEY, COLO. 



P. O. Hansen will add two houses to 

 his range next summer. When they 

 are completed he will employ a night 

 fireman. 



The added neatness and quality of the 

 stock of the Gardner Floral Co, proves 

 the wisdom of handling less glass after 

 the mum season. A. Gardner's son, 

 Howard, who was formerly connected 

 with his father's business, has taken 

 a position with the leading garage here. 



Miss Helen Peary, general manager 

 for Ellis the Florist, recently made a 

 flying trip to Denver on business. 



Andrew Epple expects to replace the 

 smoke flue in his vegetable forcing 

 house by hot water or steam next sea- 

 son.

Growers will find all of these valuable additions to the list of standard varieties. 

 They have been tested thoroughly and have been found to have exceptional value. 



OPHELIA 



No fancy rose ever introduced pos- 

 sesses so iiaany excellent qualities. It 

 is a splendid grower, a very free 

 bloomer and has fine stems. It sells on 

 sight. The demand undoubtedly will 

 exceed the supply. Anticipating the 

 large demand, we have propagated it ex- 

 tensively.

FBANCIS SCOTT KEY 



This variety, raised by Mr. John 

 Cook, is very distinct, being entirely 

 different from any of the indoor roses 

 giown today. Flowers are rosy red and 

 are unusually large and double, resem- 

 bling very much a very full, double, 

 hardy garden rose. Coupled with its 

 large size and double 'form, it is an ex- 

 ceedingly free bloomer. It promises to 

 be exceedingly valuable, especially for

PRINCE E. C. D'ABENBERO 



This variety might well have been 

 termed a Bed Killarney, as it possesses- 

 so many of the good qualities of the 

 Killarneys. In color the flowers are 

 ' similar to Bichmond, but they are much- 

 more double, and it should prove a 

 very much more profitable rose. Flow- 

 ers have fine, straight stems on all the 

 grades — from the shortest to the longest. 

 It has fine foliage, comes away quickly 

 and is even a freer bloomer than the 

 Killarneys. We believe it is the best 

 all-round red rose that we have today.
